dso Posted March 29, 2017 Share Posted March 29, 2017 Aaaand the site is dead, lol. On the swirl page it mentions that they are getting a new Spray Booth soon. Does this mean more finish options? :o Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bridge Posted March 29, 2017 Share Posted March 29, 2017 On the swirl page it mentions that they are getting a new Spray Booth soon. Does this mean more finish options? :o Possibly. When I was getting a feel for costs a few months back, Adrian had mentioned custom finishes would be a bit because of getting the new booth. Not sure it'll mean new finishes per say, maybe just more of a streamline to the process if I had to guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bridge Posted March 29, 2017 Share Posted March 29, 2017 Blue Sparkle Bigsby model is really nice looking. Also, seems that the funds didn't come through for Carbonita. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jaicen Posted March 29, 2017 Share Posted March 29, 2017 And 03. He's getting closer Nope, 00, 01 and 02. Not sure which is the distressed one that was actually built at Mansons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, there's 00 as well, but after reapers live at glastonbury 2016 he started using 03. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

james90 Posted March 29, 2017 Author Share Posted March 29, 2017 How else would he have one?? Here you go Jaicen: Notice the natural finished neck. Might even be roasted? Can't tell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaicen Posted March 29, 2017 Share Posted March 29, 2017 I stand corrected. So he has 4 then? Edit: am I right in thinking 00 hasn't been used live? Need to check the wiki. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
james90 Posted March 29, 2017 Author Share Posted March 29, 2017 I stand corrected. So he has 4 then? At least. I don't think we've seen any in the single digits go up for sale, so maybe those were for him. and it was just 01 (relic) and 02 (prototype with rosewood fretboard) that have not been used live. 00 and 03 have been used live.

Better go swipe up the first numbered one to the public then To IVG's credit, they're just price gouging because that's the only quick way to get a Manson in America. I might not do the same if I owned a business, but so be it. They modded my Cort and did some pretty nice work and didn't try to screw me for that, for what it's worth and the people I talked to were generally pretty friendly.

james90 Posted March 29, 2017 Author Share Posted March 29, 2017 That's fair enough if you want to pay extra so you can just walk in and buy one, but it's more that they're flat out lying about the 19 guitars for MB, and let's not forget about the matt white EVO....

Yes, I'm by no means excusing any of that. Any Works Wednesday was a rather slow sales day for them, eh? Still very much debating DR-40, but it likely will end up with my not buying it.
